Shared Libraries make it even easier for you to share, edit and collaborate on assessments with your colleagues. Whether you are working alongside a co-teacher, collaborating with a group of colleagues teaching the same subject, or mentoring new educators in your learning community, Shared Libraries let your team access, co-create, and share the material you need to engage your learners more deeply.
​

To Create a Shared Library:

Once your Shared Library has been created, bring it to life with the content you want to share and edit with your teaching team.

To add quizzes to a Shared Library, first navigate to Showbie Assessments and select one from the left-side options. This will display all of the assessments contained in that Shared Library. Folders can also be created and used here for an extra level of organization.

Selecting Add Quiz from within your Shared Library allows you to create, generate, or import a quiz to that Shared Library. Selecting New Folder will create a Folder or Sub-Folder in which to store and organize additional quizzes.

As the creator of a Shared Library, you are its owner. Owners can invite colleagues to collaborate via an Invite code.

Each Shared Library has a unique code than can be copied and shared with others for access.

No longer want to share your library? No problem! You can always toggle off the sharing options or reset the shareable code by clicking the arrow or simply turning it off.

To join a colleagues Shared Library:

There are three levels of access: Owner, Editor and Viewer. Owners and Editors can invite new members and also remove members from the library. Viewers can only access and export Library content.

A Shared Library is managed by its owner. There can only be one owner of a library. If you designate another colleague as the owner, you are transferring your ownership. In doing so, you will become an Editor of the Library.

Owner

Can edit content, members, settings and delete the library.

Editor

Can edit library content and members.

Viewer

Can only view and export library content. Can view members.

Once your colleagues have joined, you can view them within the Members tab in your Shared Library. Here, you can manage the access level for each Member of your library by selecting the dropdown menu underneath Access Level.

When removing a member from a shared library, they lose access to all quizzes in this library.

Create a new quiz or select an existing quiz added to your shared library that you want to edit. While editing, the quiz will be locked to prevent multiple simultaneous edits from overwriting your progress.

You can edit your questions and answers, add new question types, reorder content, adjust question weights, and modify images and explanations. When you are done editing, be sure to select Save and Exit.

When quizzes are complete and classroom-ready, you can select the More Options (...) icon beside the quiz to move it between folders or copy it to your personal library.
​

Renaming your Shared Library

To rename your Shared library go to the Settings tab, insert the desired name and click Update. The name will be modified for all members.

Deleting your Shared Library

As the creator of a Shared Library, you can also permanently delete it. In your Shared Library, navigate to Settings. Once there, at the bottom of the menu, you will see the option to delete your library.
